Way down in Louisiana close to New OrleansWay back up in the woods among the evergreensWas a log cabin made of earth and woodWhere lived a country boy named Johnny B GoodDidn't like muggers taking over his landJohnny got clever and joined the Ku Klux Klan

He used to carry his shotgun in a gunny sackSit beneath the tree down by the railroad trackWatching for the muggers who had fought for girlsJohnny put the rifle and his flag unfurledMuggers seen the gun held in Johnny's handJohnny was dispatched into another land

His mother told him, "One day you will be a manAnd you will be the leader of a big ol KlanMany people coming from miles aroundAnd see your burning crosses when the sun goes downMaybe one day your name will be in lightsSaying' Johnny join the Ku Klux Klan tonight"
